RE: Steemit Wallet Tips
I agree with you completely. The last HardFork increased security. It was easy to overuse the Master Password as your only password for multiple types of signings. But at significant risk of account loss before that HardFork.
There was a lot of speculation about this (account loss) when the snapshot for Hive occurred.
Many recommended changing the keys, I did not.
I don't know how real this supposed risk could have been.
I was not aware of any risk associated with the snap shot preceding the HardFork. I will look into it.
In my opinion, this was only part of the media discredit war that occurred back then. Both sides tried to discredit themselves. Within everything that happened, this rumor emerged.
I did not change my passwords.
